The grant is for a half a million dollars, which would cover more than half of the projected cost of $900,000, for which cash donation commitments of nearly $294,000 have already been made.

The total cost for the project includes a land donation valued at $106,400. According to the resolution approved Tuesday by the commission, the county's sponsorship of the grant would be contingent on the senior center's acquisition of the land prior to the signing of the grant agreement.

The facility would be a 31-hundred-square-foot structure located next to the senior center on Smith Street in Sheridan.
